Hello and welcome 2thdrglock! Glad you found us.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

I've found that on some subjects, opposing views and opinions are not welcome here...
I have some things my wife would want me to auction off, and have 100% of proceeds go to the NWFASuggestion: Have we ever considered opening up a section of the Classifieds for "Supporting Auction" listings? EG, somebody puts up an item, pledges to donate the proceeds to NWFA, highest bidder gets it as soon as Joe Link confirms pledge money received?
Like, as with most Evil Queens of Household, the entire stockpile?I have some things my wife would want me to auction off, and have 100% of proceeds go to the NWFA
This is because in many posts you have taken very anti-gun positions. Most all of us here view gun control as arbitrary and as something that has failed over and over again even as politicians and activists double down on them and try to one up each other in how extreme they can go.
So when we see ourselves constantly having to defend against our rights being chipped away piece by piece ... and one among us suggests that there is nothing wrong with that chipping or that we are overreacting ... of course we will push back.
Its like joining a Chevy forum and trying to convince them they should be driving Fords.
Nothing necessarily wrong with voicing your opinions... I dont mind sharpening my messaging with a little debate.
But you cant get upset about it or be surprised by those reactions.... this is, afterall, a gun enthusiast site in a very anti-gun region
Right sidebar, says we're at 36% for the month. Too bad we can't get NWFA chartered as an educational charity, so some of us might be able to file for gift-matching from employers... *stares pointedly at Boeing gift-matching program*The old program had a donation goal meter visable to everyone. I don't see it anymore . It might have helped. The cartel in Salem raping everyone doesn't help.
The donation sale has always perplexed me and has been a whisper away at times.Suggestion: Have we ever considered opening up a section of the Classifieds for "Supporting Auction" listings?

This is so true! On and off the forum.On the other hand, this has to be THE best fire arms enthusiasts site in the Northwest, maybe the West coast? Any one asking questions here has a vast number of firearm knowledgeable people that literally JUMP at the chance to give good info to noobs with what might seem to be the silliest questions for the seasoned gun owner.
Not so complicated, just something like this sample OP:The donation sale has always perplexed me and has been a whisper away at times.
And then have the bids posted right in that thread. Last bid before deadline gets the goodies.Tossing up this scope I no longer need, [details go here], bidding starts at $[price]. Best donation offer to NWFA by end of the month gets it.
